Subject: Preparation for today's (Monday's) meeting
Greetings colleagues In preparation for the DHSC meeting at 4 pm US EST on 22 April, would anyone who was at the meeting of way back on 30 April 2012 be able to read the minutes and check that they seem to be OK? Would everyone also please review the minutes of the recent meeting of 2 April (re-pasted below), and see what Action Items can be progressed? Thanks! Tony Self Chair - OASIS DITA Help Subcommittee -------------------- Meeting opened 4 pm US EST 2 April 2013 Roll call ====== Ian Balanza-Davis Kris Eberlein Paul O'Rear Chris Goolsby Tony Self (Chair) Scott Prentice Dee Schur (OASIS) Apology: Stan Doherty Minutes of previous meeting ====================== It was agreed to defer the acceptance of the previous meeting's minutes until next meeting, to give people time to find and review (and recall!) the last meeting from about one year ago. Meeting facilities ============= The first obstacle to be overcome in trying to rescuscitate the SC is to find a convenient online meeting facility, with VoIP and screen sharing. FreeConferenceCall is an option, and seems to work well. There may be some toll charges. Web site: http://www.freeconferencecall.com/ Skype premium package might work, but we may be too many in number to fit within the sharing limit. Scott has GoToMeeting, and would be able to host the SC meetings if he rejoins OASIS (which he is considering). Paul suggested Lync, a Microsoft meeting service, and he might have access to a suitable account. Action Item: We should test these services, an in particular see if they will work on Ian's non-Windows Linux machine (perhaps via Wine emulator if required). Testing to be conducted off-line before next meeting. Discussion of remaining tasks for DHSC ============================= We currently have one proposal up for DITA 1.3. It is at Stage 2, but needs to be progressed to Stage 3. This involves some review work, and re-drafting of the proposal using a Stage 2 template. This proposal refers to windows management. A second proposal, on context hooks, may have been superseded by other changes around resourceid suggested by Robert Anderson. The SC should review this resourceid proposal to ensure it meets the use cases in the original DHSC context hook proposal. Robert's proposal is at: https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/46783/13008appid-stage3.h tml Progress on 1.3 proposals is recorded on Wiki (https://wiki.oasis-open.org/dita/DITA%201.3). The TC is now using Trello boards instead of Wiki pages for proposal management. Action Item: We will need to meet a few more times to complete the Stage 2 Template for the window management proposal, and to ensure that the resourceid proposal addresses the needs of Help authors. Regarding further work of the DHSC beyond these 1.3 proposals, Paul suggested we look at touch and voice and positioning (co-ordinates) as new concepts that need to be supported by DITA. For example, commands as an extension of index keywords. Perhaps we could get Joe Welinske involved with discussions in this regard. Scott added that "HTML5" (in the broadest sense) might be another thing to pursue. It was thought unlikely that we would be able to complete this work in time for 1.3, but to be sure we should investigate how far away 1.3 and 1.4 are, and make a decision at that point. Paul, Tony, Chris, Ian are interested in committing to further DHSC work. Scott needs to give it more thought. Action Item: We need to provide the TC with an estimated time to progress the Stage 2 proposal to Stage 3. Other Matters =========== Chris asked about the future of the DITA Adoption Help SC (DAHSC) and the DITA Help Technologies Guide (DHTG). We will consider the possibility of bringing the DHTG back into Help SC rather than Adoption Help SC, and there may be no further need for the DAHSC. Action Item: Add an agenda item for the next meeting to decide whether to bring the DHTG into the DHSC and discontinue the DAHSC. (Sorry about the MAI - Multiple Acronymns and Initialisms.) Next Meeting =========== The next meeting of the DHSC is proposed for 22 April. Meeting Closed at 4.50 pm US EST.
